This classic yacht is a modern displacement, fin keeled, centre cockpit, offshore cruising yacht designed by Des Townson, one of the legends who shaped the future of NZ yachting. She has all the hallmarks of a vessel whose owners require a very well equipped cruising yacht to carry them across the oceans in comfort and style. Her construction was supervised by R. W. Townson and she was Mr. Townson's personal yacht. New Zealand built for world cruising over 3 years in NZ Category I Classification and launched 1992. The current owner purchased his yacht from the original owner and is only the second owner to have had the privilege to sail this classic yacht. There is now an opportunity to take advantage of her current position and cruise through the South Pacific.

This special yacht is a fast moderate displacement cruising vessel suitable for extended offshore passages. She is now situated in one of the worlds premier cruising locations and is ready to continue on toward those far horizons. Her current owners have kept her in bristol condition and have maintained continuous upgrades to accommodate their extensive travels.

Accommodation
Accommodation is ample for a yacht of this size and having Six berths and a very comfortable saloon means there is room enough to entertain visitors. Moving aft from the anchor locker you find Two single berths with lockers along with a Head to starboard. Aft again you enter the large saloon area with table to starboard and u-shaped settee and opposite this is a comfortable settee both of which have large storage lockers below capable of holding the extra stores needed for offshore passages. Well positioned aft of the saloon is the dedicated navigation and chart table to port and the thoughtfully designed Galley to starboard. Heading aft again to port you move between two berths and lockers toward the aft cabin. This features a work area forward and to starboard accessed through the ensuite. The ensuite features a shower, head, and vanity setup. The owners berth is to starboard and there is an extra berth to port that can be used if needed.
